| I can't think of any verbs that mean "I ___ myself." |

| We can say that the English middle voice occurs when you have a verb which is syntatically active but semantically passive. e.g.: "The broth cooked very fast." =>In this example, the verb TO COOK is in the active voice, but semantically we understand that the noun BROTH "suffers" the action TO COOK. |
